The Trib has apparently started a new blog devoted to Education. Nice touch using a title that sounds like jargon.
Its second post debunks the “little birdie” story sent around by Howie Hanson explaining that there will be a new casino built to take the place of Central High.
I suppose the recent story about the folks who stuck a house on Skyline Drive prompted Howie to drop the bomb but its been going around for months.
I remember how arduous it was to set up the existing casino in the old Sears Building thirty years ago. It took an act of Congress to make the land under the Sears building reservation land. Its a bit like turning a foreign embassy into foreign soil. I doubt that Congressman Oberstar would champion this as enthusiastically as he would throwing federal money at a tourist train to Duluth.
